Despite the obvious jest regarding the topic, it was interesting hearing the response. He distinctly remembered hearing from Sir Katte about some of the knights being a little touchy, but he wasn't sure if this was just a common cultural thing, or it was a knee-jerk reaction to a familiar gesture. He had heard of one [i]particular[/i] knight that embodied this kind of behavior. As for the thinking part, Steffen turned to Fanilly just as Gerard did. [color=b5a0d2]"It's about the shard of Angoron, I presume?"[/color] He crossed his arms. [color=b5a0d2]"If it's any help Captain, you can ask a knight you trust to assist you and take some load off your shoulders. That's what we're here for right?"[/color] Steffen noticed this with Fanilly quite often, trying to tackle problems on her own in the library. They were the boots on the grounds carrying out the dirty works like wiping out the bandits or clearing out the mausoleum or finding this shard sure, but as soon as sorties were done, it seemed like he and the rest just went back to doing their own things until the next sortie orders came. It was different from the image of the Iron Roses that Steffen imagined, one united in goals and objectives, knowing what they are set out to do and to protect. Not to mention that could not have been healthy for the Captain to be shouldering such responsibilities on her own. [@VitaVitaAR][@HereComesTheSnow][@The Otter]
